Upon discovering you had illegally collected animals your only resolution was to send them back to the person who collected them illegally - and then only because of their condition not their legality? Surrendering the animals to F&G did not cross your mind?

So, by your own admission (which is no longer hearsay obviously ) you are planning on knowingly shipping illegally collected animals.

This is against the rules of the site- this one specifically;



And please watch your tone when responding to posts made by a member of staff to avoid earning yourself further infraction points.

On a personal note also find it somewhat reprehensible that you try and take the high ground in this and claim people are trying to discredit you when a quick search on the BOI for "Pete Perez" shows plainly you discredited yourself years ago and have continued to do so ever since.

Until this thread I had hopes you had changed since those threads were posted but it is obvious you still think nothing of flouting the law with no thought to the consequences for anyone else in the hobby.

Pleading ignorance and playing the victim card seems to be a habit. As is claiming the people who point out your various failings are to blame.

Oh and make sure to specify if it is the personal opinion section of this post you are replying to just so any infractions the other members of staff feel are needed are fair.

I NEVER promoted the "illegal ownership and trafficking of species." If I am correct, the English dictionary defines the word PROMOTING as follows:

to help or encourage to exist or flourish; further:
The report has been made. Therefore, I am not promoting anything against the site's rules.

This is exactly what's wrong with the herp community! Instead of making judgment calls, and layin' out the law you should be advising and encouraging!

And I never said I was going to ship them back, I simply stated that I was offered to ship them back.

I've made the report. What now?!
